The usual model for measuring corruption in states is per capita convictions of public officials. Generally NJ is indeed among the top 10 states for corruption, it's never been #1 though. That's usually Illinois or Louisiana, sometimes New York or Tennessee.
Astute observers will also note an issue with the metric, if public officials are never caught or convicted of anything, no corruption! (see the article posted below https://www.texasobserver.org/corrupt-texas-politicians-face-little-accountability/ )

Fun read! I was going to chime in with the inexplicable failure to get Attorney General Ken Paxton in a courtroom, but this observer article shows how much broader this lack of oversight goes in Texas
